The Times Union is reporting tickets are now on sale for the Berkshire Flyer, Amtrak's newest train service, for travel between Pittsfield, Mass. and New York City. Service will begin July 8, and will run through the summer between Moynihan Train Hall and Pittsfield via Albany-Rensselaer, with several stops in between. Amtrak is offering the service in conjunction with the Massachusetts and New York departments of transportation. Tickets are available via Amtrak [dot] com, the Amtrak app, Amtrak ticket desks and kiosks, and by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL. The Berkshire Flyer will leave New York Penn Station at 3:16 p.m. every Friday and arrive at Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center in Pittsfield, at 7:12 p.m. The train will make all the intermediate station stops as the typical Amtrak Empire Service train does, including Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, Poughkeepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson and Albany-Rensselaer. The Sunday return trip will depart Pittsfield at 3 p.m. and arrive in Manhattan at 7:05 p.m., making all the same  stops. The route will be evaluated to determine its feasibility and demand, including deciding on its schedule and identifying specific infrastructure improvements or service changes that may be needed, Amtrak said.
